Having Lash be a perfectly engineered bioweapon to counter Hive's abilities, and the team realizing this just in time, was pretty much perfect.

* Oh goddammit. Lash's fight with Hive is a such a letdown. Two incredibly powerful, nigh-invincible Inhumans going at it should've been a highlight of not just this episode but the entire season. The fight starts out fine, but then he for some reason gets distracted with Daisy and gets one-shotted by a flunkie. I get…

I don't think there were any recognizable metas in Zoom's army. One kind of looked like Atomic Skull at first, but I think he just had green energy and a normal head. Another sort of looked like Livewire, but as she appeared in Superman TAS and not Supergirl.

I consider that as good a justification for the film's twist on the Mandarin as any.

How many times do we have to tell you: Oliver North did NOT bury his treasure under your house!

That's kind of my point ; that we shouldn't dismiss a trans character like Sera because she has tools available to her that aid in her transition that are not available in the real world. Like how Spider-Man still resonates with teenagers and young adults even though none of them have to fight supervillains.

The patronus did not look like lightning, it took the shape of an animal.

I am not saying she is not a trans woman.

Sera doesn't identify as a woman because she lives in a sci-fi/fantasy world, she identifies as a woman for the same reason all trans women do.

Sera is not an allegory for a trans person, she is one.

I feel like it would be like having a gay character who was only in love with aliens or magical creatures

Which would apply to a character like Xavin when he disguises himself as Karolina Dean, not to Sera who is transgender.

Does that matter? Being transgender is about how someone identifies, not how they make the transition.

Jessie Drake, the first openly transgender Marvel character. Not a major character by any stretch, but also comes two decades before it was culturally acceptable to be openly transgender.

Gotham City thinks Batman is dead. They erected a statue in his honor and everything. It wouldn't make sense from a narrative, thematic, or character perspective for John Blake to pretend he is the Batman when he and the city his protects would both recognize he's taking up someone else's mantle.

He could call himself Nightwing.

Just to clarify, she wouldn't contest that "Dhaka" is the correct answer, since "Dhaka" being the capital of Bangladesh is easily proven. She would've had to contest that her pronunciation, which replaced the "D" sound with a "T" should be acceptable.

Why did the audience cheer for a few seconds after Kaberi got "Dhaka" in the Asian capitals category? It wasn't a Daily Double, nor did she run the category. The game just stopped so the audience could clap after she got this one normal clue in the middle of a category.

X-Men: First Class is only five years old, and I'm fairly certain that wasn't planned to be the last X-Men movie. Something like an actor dying is unavoidable, but setting each sequel rougly ten years after the previous movie is a decision Bryan Singer, Simon Kinberg, etc. made on their own. They're inviting the…
